Strange right click text problem

sprintstar

For some reason when I select typed text on my PC, for example an eBay auction description, or even these words, I don't have the option to cut or paste. Any ideas what could have caused this? I have recently upgraded to the latest explorer, is there an option I need to alter? At the moment, when selecting typed characters in a text box, my first option is "back", where it used to be copy, paste, cut, which I now longer have. I still have these options when selecting the text already on a site, it just seems limited to my own typed words. Very strange, but any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi,

I've just tried the right click method on some of your text, and only get the copy option, however, if I copy it and then paste it in Word, I can then select some of the text, and get cut, copy, paste options.

You will get the paste option when you try to paste in another document.

try using the keyboard shortcuts, if those dont work its down to the app restrictions
ctrl+c =copy
ctrl+v= paste

They might not appear in the right click menu. Try the Edit menu of your browser and see if they appear there.
